I Think it is a local meta because the people playing the minnesota regional dont differ much from people playing the worlds, say, the same + 20 guys from around?

of the 12 regionals that we have full list results for:

6 did not have the archetype (Rieekan, Yavaris, 120+ squad points) show up at all. (Connecticut, Calgary, Boston, Minnesota (home of FFG), San Diego, Maryland)

6 were skewed towards the top: Utah, Michigan, Las Vegas, Ohio, San Antonio, Vancouver

Maryland is the real surprise there. The largest regional that we had complete results for, with 44 people attending from all over the US east coast, and nobody played this archetype. It seems to not be popular on the US east coast.
